How to reset the tire pressure on Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
There are two methods to reset the tire pressure on Volkswagen Lavida: 1. Visit an after-sales service center and have maintenance personnel diagnose and clear the fault code from the vehicle's computer; 2. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button located on the right side in front of the gear shift lever for three seconds to reset it. The Volkswagen Lavida is a compact car produced by SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, a wheelbase of 2688mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for several years, and the time when the tire pressure warning light came on really freaked me out—I thought I had a puncture. Later, I realized it was just alerting me to uneven pressure. Resetting it is quite simple: first, make sure all tire pressures are correct—I always keep a tire pressure gauge in the car and check each tire against the standard values (the Lavida has a label on the door frame with the specs). Then, sit in the car without starting the engine, press and hold the SET button on the left side of the steering wheel for a few seconds until the dashboard light flashes a few times to reset. If the SET button doesn’t respond, try looking for the tire settings reset option in the car’s menu. Once reset, the light will turn off. This often happens after long trips, especially on bumpy roads that affect tire pressure. I’ve now made it a habit to check every two weeks—it saves money and keeps me safe. If the reset doesn’t work, get it fixed immediately; don’t delay, as incorrect tire pressure can make braking unstable.
